TOPPS - Selling Out of Date BAL product

[Angling Mad]

Just wondered if anyone has a view on this. I went to my local Topps branch to pick up a couple of bags of BAL Micromax2 grout and a bottle of BAL GT1 Admix for a shower job in one of my holiday homes. When I set about doing the first mix I noticed that the GT1 was out of date December 2013, then picked up one of the bags of grout and noticed they had obviously split the bag at some point as all along the bottom it was stapled. As you can imagine I was pretty annoyed at the waste of time. Took it all back and they had no problem changing it but when the guy checked all of the GT1 stock was out of date newest Feb 2014 and he said he only got the last lot it delivered last week,HMMM. So yet another trek to find another supplier.

Obviously from now on I will check beforehand but does the GT1 lose its effectiveness quickly?

Fair enough in that case!

Anyone else think GT1 smells and looks just like PVA?!

Think you get 18 months from the born date

I bought bal grey grout from topps Basingstoke the 12/11/22, ( today is 23/01/23) , we didn’t need it , so went back to just exchange not get money back , ( didn’t have receipt ) was told couldn’t exchange or anything because date had expired on grout( I literally had 24 days to expiry date )
Won’t be going back
